    Excellent service, replaced five sprinkler control valves and final bill was under estimate.

    DO NOT USE Chris Bargain Lawn Care! During the week of 7/7, he mismanaged all aspects of our…read morelandscaping project, leading us to lose over $5,000 due to improper application of synthetic turf, failure to remove old turf and decomposed granite from our yard, putting a nail through our sprinkler line, and placing sticky sand all over our pavers requiring additional cleanup. Chris was informed about the removal of turf, roots, and DG four days prior to completion, but did not respond. I had over 100 text and phone calls with his subcontractor - Boots Construction, who was rarely present and did not address the issues. One time, he left to give a quote for another job instead of staying at our house. Chris guaranteed Boots would always be on site. I spent over 25 hours supervising and fixing problems with the entire project. Chris assured me of Boots' expertise, which proved false. Despite receiving payments, Boots has not paid his crew. Chris was sent numerous pictures and text, but did not resolve any of these problems. In fact, he stated he would be unable to provide any assistance or reimbursement of any kind.... Not even a penny. * Paver problems: Boots didn't take the right samples or measurements, so the pavers were mismatched and cut poorly. The sand was applied badly, and they didn't install root barriers as promised. * Fire pit and walkway issues: The fire pit area was uneven and needed to be redone. * Mulch mess: The crew piled mulch against the plants, even though they were told not to. We had to redo all the mulch installations around 150 plants. * Crew's behavior: The crew left trash all over our yard, including pizza boxes and water bottles we purchased for lunch. Chris stated on the 6th day our yard would be left in a pristine state and the opposite happened. They even left loose razor blades that were a hazard to our dogs! * Turf troubles: Turf and DG were removed with no disposal plan, leaving our gate unusable and driveway blocked until we paid 1-800-Got-Junk for removal. Chris did not respond when contacted. The turf showed visible nail spots, uneven seams, improper cuts, and house flashing and two sprinkler lines were damaged requiring another contractor for repairs. Boots used only a third of the specified infill amount. * Root removal problems: The roots weren't removed to the agreed depth, which could cause future issues. We had to buy materials to finish the root barrier installation. * Contract and payment concerns: Chris required a 25% upfront payment on 7/2, exceeding California's legal 10% downpayment limit, citing the need for pre-July 4th material purchases. However, receipts show no materials were bought until 7/11. Chris mismanaged the job and failed to respond to calls on Thursday and Friday. Despite our contract with him, he took no direct responsibility and communicated only about payments from Monday to Saturday. The subcontractor did not handle the turf professionally, contrary to Chris's assurances. Both Chris and Boots Construction are not licensed contractors according to the California State License Board. I would give a negative star rating if possible.

    EdenView Gardening Services - Back yard after.

    I need to get my lawn maintained today because the weeds were overgrown and my grass in the front…read moreyard and back yard was very tall. I decided to search on Yelp.com for a Landscaping company that is (honest, dependable, offers affordable prices and will do quality work) in maintaining my front and back yard, doing weeds removal, and the edging. These things are all basic work that is required for my lawn. Yelp Projects for Landscaping Maintenance responded back very quickly yesterday. I was sent 5 different Landscaping Services that were from text messaging me on my Yelp personal account yesterday. Leo the owner from Edenview Gardening Services was the first business owner that sent me his text message last night. I responded back to his text messages to me last night at 6 p. m. There were also two other Landscaping Services that send me text messages on their grass cutting services afterwards that was last evening also. The reason my lawn was really tall and the weeds were not removed from my previous gardener his name is Pedro is because, I tried calling him and texting him at least three times. Pedro would not respond back to my text messages until one day later. Pedro keeps giving me his excuses he told me he is very busy with his other customers and it's okay with him for me to find someone else to cut my lawn. Pedro my previous gardener has been with me for 3.5 years. I believe that Pedro was very unprofessional in not respecting me as his loyal long term customer. I realized Pedro is not very smart in not appreciating my business with him. I made the decision today that Pedro has lost me as his permanent customer for life. It's unfortunate that Pedro acted this way to me because I even gave him FREE Garden Equipment that when he saw these things in my mom's garage and he asked me if he can have these items for Free. These used Garden Equipment cost my dad a lot of money. I didn't like Pedro asking me to have these items for Free like a working Gas Lawn Mower, an Electric Weed-eater, and a Insecticide Pump Sprayer. Pedro also asked me if he can have one FREE Shovel and one FREE Broom. I had to discuss with my mom if he can have these things for Free without being charged some money for our compensation. My mom is a very generous person and she told me yes but not to give Pedro anything else. Pedro finally did offer to pay me $40.00 for this one used Insecticide Pump Sprayer . It's a working item. Pedro also asked me if he can have my dad's expensive Metal Ladder from FREE. It was the last straw with me! I said No. I told Pedro he needs to buy his own garden equipment and not expect to get FREE Garden Equipment from me his customer. His greediness towards me isn't right. This is the 4th Gardener I have hired to maintain my moms yard. The reason is because these previous gardeners aren't dependable and after they work for me after one year they start to get lazy in arriving late and sitting in their truck like Pedro. This is my main reason that I have to find a New Landscaping Company to hire today on a regular basis. Leo the owner and Floyd his partner did a great job on removing these tall weeds in the front yard from the roots it was a labor intensive job. Also Leo and Floyd were cutting my front and back yard. Also using the edging equipment and the blower to clean up the sidewalk area. I highly recommend Leo's Edenview Gardening Services. I told Leo today he will have my business as his loyal customer due to Leo gave me an affordable price at $50.00, he was on time, my appointment with Leo was at 8 a.m. this morning and I received quality work. These 3 things are very important qualities I look for in me wanting to have a long term business relationship with any company. Especially Edenview Gardening Services I am so fortunate to have found this awesome landscaping company by using the Yelp Projects feature on the Yelp website. Leo and I were also able to get acquainted with each other in getting us getting to know each other with our new business relationship. Leo is a good person and I felt very comfortable speaking to him today because he is a very honest and trustworthy person.

We called…read moreon them when we had issues with some of our existing irrigation that was only a couple years old and they fixed it very quickly and explained the issues. We also had lots of issues with weeds and invasive plants that other companies said just needed to be maintained ( of course at a cost) however EdenView knew how to STOP it and that reduces our overall maintenance costs ( plus looks so much better!) The owner is so dedicated and reliable. I highly recommend for any of your landscaping needs.

The previous owner…read moreleft my Manuel Valentine's business card and said that Manual had been taking care of the lawn & garden for the last 4 years, since he first purchased the home. I spoke with Manuel the first weekend I was in the house in June, and he sounded like a nice fellow. Manuel made several suggestions of trimming & planting that he'd been wanting to do, and all of them sounded like excellent ideas. We discussed a very very reasonable price, and he agreed to start the following week. Mr. Valentine is licensed (CA Lic #29140), well referenced, extremely hard working, talented, and a genuinely nice guy. His English is excellent, he's reliable, very willing to tackle any task in the yard, and gets the job done in a fraction of the time (1/3 or 1/5th or 1/10th) it would take the normal homeowner to do the same job. Manuel takes tremendous pride in his work. When I told him how beautiful the roses were, he told me he'd planted them himself, 5 years ago, and has been giving them tender loving care ever since. In fact, he has been the sole gardener for the home since it was built in 2002, and he maintains many of the neighbors' yards as well. I've had a handful of gardeners over the years who start off the first or 2nd visits very well, and then quickly decline to "blow and go" around the yard. Manuel is not one of those lackadaisical "blow and go" gardeners, and I appreciate his work so much, that I created this Yelp review. Along with gardening, he also does lawn maintenance, drains & sprinklers, planting, and bush & shrub & palm removals. I could not be happier with his work, and I will be referring all of my neighbors who are not yet using Manuel's skills to him as well. You can't go wrong with hiring Manuel Valentine. There is no harder working gardener in N.San Diego County.
